I dream about clothes... all the time! In fact I dream about clothes, shoes and bags that would seriously haemorrhage my credit card if I ever dared to purchase them . As soon as the season starts to change, I literally daydream about new pieces that would give my wardrobe the most luxurious makeover. Although my style is classy chic, I do tend to switch from smart to casual on a day-to day basis ( I can't do heels everyday any more). So the wish list I've put together consists of smart and casual pieces I would die for ( ok... a little over dramatic...would like a lot) For me, getting dressed in the winter is a pain. Dragging yourself out of bed in the dark, tired and cold is a nightmare so the easier it is for me to throw something on the better. My wish list obviously means picking out my dream outfits but as I always say, everything I choose would be an investment as well as serve a functional purpose. Basically I would need to live in them/wear them all season. It's really important for me to mix and match as well and sometimes I stop myself from buying things where I ask the 'what would I wear it with question'. So even though I've put together a smart and casual look I can also switch things round to create even more outfits. So here's my wishlist ..

So I've been thinking about what I need for A/W and to be honest I'm not hugely inspired at the moment to buy anything new in terms of clothing, but I am completely obsessed with updating my winter shoe collection! As you start to layer up with coats, scarves, gloves and hats, the statement piece of footwear is all important. Then you have to consider daytime/night-time, different outfits and whether you want to go casual/smart. My wishlist is pretty huge but I think my favourite must-have would have to be a pair of Isabel Marant wedge trainers which seem to be sold out everywhere!!! I love these so much because of their comfort and versatility, it would definitely be something you would wear with everything all winter. Then there's there's the boots. I invested in a pair of long Kurt Geiger boots last year so what I'm really in need of now is some smart and elegant ankle boots ( or shoe boots) I can wear with everything! You don't get much of a chance to wear sandals or peep toe heels in the winter which is why investing in some nice ankle boots will come in handy to wear with jeans, leggings, skirts and a cute dress. As per usual when you're on the hunt for a particular style and shape you can never find the right one. I will persevere and when i find, i shall blog about them. In the meantime check out my ideal A/W12 shoe collection. What do you reckon? Have I missed something out??

Summer coming to an end is ultra depressing but the only thing to get me through it is thinking about my autumn/winter wardrobe.

Though colour blocking was a trend from last season, the illusion dress is one that is here to stay! I am majorly chuffed with my new hour glass number as it really is one of the most flattering shapes for my figure. If you think it looks familiar, you'd be right in thinking that it is a lookalike to the Stella McCartney AW11 collection made famous by Kate Winslet.

Thanks to one of my favourite online stores Internationale ,I now have my own version and I'm totally in love!

It literally does take inches off your waist with clever contouring and can give you a lovely hour glass silhouette without needing to go to the gym or giving up chocolate ;-)

This dress is going to be perfect for the party season later on in the year and I'll be able to dress it up or down with chunky jewellery, a smart blazer, funky tights and some high heels or ankle boots.

At a whopping valuable £20, it's a fraction of the designer label price, so you can really go heavy with the shoes and accessories to properly bring it on trend. I cannot wait to wear it out and paint the town red ;-)

About Me

Hello, thanks for visiting my blog. I started this blog in 2011 mainly because I'm a bit of a shopaholic. I'm always picking up one thing or another and thrive on hunting down a bargain. The name actually came about because of people commenting on my clothes and asking me, 'where did you buy that?' I'm a cross between an investment buyer and a bargain hunter and mixing the two is what I love to do the most.
